Angry Nerd: How Hollywood Can Get Its Evil Twins Right

This week, Angry Nerd is here to sing the praises of Michael Bay and The Phantom Menace. Wait a minute, that’s the evil twin of the Angry Nerd! Begone, you bearded imposter!

The Evil Twin is the age-old crutch of the lazy screenwriter. Slap some facial hair on an actor and—POOF! They’re evil. (Just look at Evil Spock from Star Trek and evil Garthe Knight from Knight Rider.) Will this new Jesse Eisenberg movie The Double be another dumb evil twin movie? Or will it be clever, like TV’s Orphan Black? Angry Nerd, naturally, has some predictions.
